Yeah at first I thought they had just worn out being made of cardboard and foam - but upon removing them they appeared fine with no noticeable damage, bench tested him to no avail, both didn’t respond to a direct input voltage even after refreshing the solder    The factory head unit has tape and a cdplayer and it also has an aux input! (First factory bc5 stereo I’ve seen with an aux) So no need to update it, keeps it era correct - even the aerial goes up and down 😎 

Did the foam surround finally wear out? let me guess the factory stereo has one of these in it? Or the newer Bluetooth ones

Removed the 35year old front door speakers that finally gave up (first time I’ve experienced a speakers quiet end of life) and replaced them with some basic JVC equivalents - sounds fine - installed a band expander so I can finally stop listening to Mai fm 😂. factory head unit still working! 😎 it’s the little things working fine that does it for me now, this BC5 is 35years old and everything works 🥳 and it flies through wofs - a whole different world compared to 10years of my last BC5

More standard maintenance stuff Oil Change. Reboot and grease my second inner CV. Now I'm good for a while I think. The stuff that's been in there for 150000km is very liquid.  Try to find the thing that thuds clunks knocks when I turn slowly nearer to lock. I see that brake pads, strut tops and Center diff are possible culprits. Car drives mint otherwise

Fitted one side of the tail light tint. on a back car it is so much better looking,   film was easy enough on the inner lights but the outer ones have some heavy curves. The top curve has some wrinkles, but no one who sees the car driving along.   will try to get the other side done tomorrow
